It's a *Bachelorette *baby!
Joelle "JoJo" Fletcher and Jordan Rodgers, who met and got engaged on season 12 of the reality dating series, are expecting their first child. The couple jointly announced the happy news in an Instagram post on Thursday.
"We love you so much already, our sweet rainbow baby. 🌈🕊️Baby Rodgers coming January 2026," Fletcher wrote.
Set to Novo Amor's "State Lines," the video shared by Fletcher and Rodgers features the mother-to-be giddily cradling her baby bump while wading in the water at a beach. Rodgers twirls her around and showers her with affection, as Fletcher unfurls a string of ultrasound photos for their combined 3.6 million followers to see.
"Love you so much," Rodgers wrote in a comment. "You have been such a rockstar through the ups and downs of this journey. Your strength, resilience and positive attitude are an inspiration. Can't wait to see you as a Mom 🥹 falling more in love with you every single day!"

Fletcher, a Texas-born real estate developer, competed on season 20 of *The Bachelor *in early 2016. She made it to the final rose ceremony, but the titular presumptive groom, Ben Higgins, chose instead to propose to flight attendant Lauren Bushnell.
Higgins and Bushnell broke off their engagement a year after the finale, but Fletcher found enduring love when she starred on the 12th season of *The Bachelorette *just two months later. Rodgers, a former pro quarterback with the Jacksonville Jaguars and brother to controversial NFL-star-turned-political-commentator Aaron Rodgers, proposed to Fletcher on that finale, resulting in an engagement that lasted six years. They tied the knot in 2022.
"We were supposed to get married in 2020 and then we were going to wait a year or two before having kids," Fletcher told PEOPLE on Thursday. But the COVID-19 pandemic delayed those plans. "Now that we've had the couple of years, I think the conversation of starting to plan our family is at the forefront of our lives. I'm a new aunt and Jordan is about to be a new uncle and the idea of kids is something that's really exciting to me."
